Part 1
Waking up with room to spare
My eyes are filled from crying
I knew 10 years had already passed
With so little time to die in
I see the faces of my girls
My ears can hear them sighing
Just the blink of a life ago
The truth needs no denying
Their little voices laugh with glee
Head and heart they are defying
The August sun beats on and on
Faint hope is still decrying
Part 2
No anger
No hatred
No vengeance
No respite
No quarter
No apology
No sentence
No fight
No hope
No future
No daughters
November
Part 3
Why did you take them?
What did I do?
Just be a brave father
And breadwinner too
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
Your name it is vengeance
For what I don’t know?
I am a good father
And that you do know
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
You let the years pass
So how do you sleep?
What happened to you
Has now happened to me
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
So now I reach out
Just one final time
And ask you to listen
As time it does fly
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
Bury your hatchet
The ages have passed
Walk up that hill
Because nothing will last
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
Tread your path slowly
Look back where you came
Believe in tomorrow
It is never the same
You took away life
On the wing of a lie
You took away laughter
And left children to cry
